This weekend we with my some people from my team were planed to go to Puebla for weekend, for attending Posada (kind of Christmas party) and also to visit Africa Safari - famous museum, like zoo, but without borders, so animals can easily walk around.
We planed to live office at 4 pm to arrive there at 8-9 pm. So finally only Mariana and I left at 4:30 pm office and other 2 collegs stayed because didn't finish their work and guy because didn't want to pack his bag, had to go from office to home (but much comfortable to go directly from office to metro). They arrived to party after 11, when dinner already finished, when we broke all pinatas - activities finished and left only siting and drinking activities.
After party, I decide to not push anyone to wake up early(it wouldn't work anywhere) and I hoped that someone researched how can we get to Africa safari. So finally Juan Manuel told let's meet at 12:00 in the center to go to Africa safari at Saturday. Finally next day everyone gathered only after 2 pm and it was already late to go to Africa Safari, so finally our plan to go at Saturday there failt and we just were hanging around the city all the day.
I was talking with some of people(who came also from Mexico city), who wanted to go with me and Fabian (friend from Germany) to Africa safari at sunday morning. 2 from them (colombian girl and one mexican boy) told that want to go and may be will go. Everything finished, that in the evening everyone (except me and Fabian) left to home (to Mexico city), I was shocked that they just decide that they want to go home and don't care about that they have opportunity to visit unique place. To live to Mexico city, most of them needed to take bags from home. From place where we were staying at that time, were going buses to house, but they as I understand from culture are "whatever to money" and lazy to put some effort in order to economy money, so we could go there for 2 USD (5 people) by bus, but they just "I feel I want comfort" took taxi and we paid 8 USD for it. I completelly understood their culture of lazyness and don't care about expensies and if someone decide something, all others don't say "no, I don't want", they just follow.
So without planing and don't care about time, 5 people, who come from Mexico city, just lost opportunity and spent a lot of money just for 1 party and hanging around city.
Next day came. We with Fabian had plan to visit Africa Safari and we decide to not invite anyone with us, because it will make our life just harder and we will loose much time in the morning. In the Saturday evening, from one local girl we got to know that to Africa Safari is going public transport and from center of city is going special bus what cost 20 USD and include transportation there, ticket, transport inside the museum and back and everything for 6 hours. We counted and if we take public transport and go there by ourself and will use 25% discount coupon, then we will make trip on 13 USD. So we decide that we can make a bit effort and economy good amount of money and we went there and made all trip more interesting and only for 13 USD. So on economied money we could buy lunch and dinner.
In the bus was very interesting situation for us. As we already got used, that if you plan something, only in 10% cases things things will go on time, in others case, things will be delayed 1.5-2 times. So bus, what was driving us inside the Africa Safari made stop and told that it is for 20 minutes. There was toilets and food places. That food places was only with most popular food - cheaps, coca cola and beer (only things to buy and nothing too healthy, but if you want to eat healthy generally in Mexico you can find something, so situation with food here is OK, you can buy what you like and what is healthy).
After 20 minutes only we were next to the bus and when we came to bus driver, when passed already 25 minutes and we told him, lets go inside the bus, he told "yes let's go" and he stend up and ... went to toilet, I was thinking that he had to be first in the bus. So finally the break took ... 40 minutes.
Then was second stop for 10 minutes.
This is time when break started.
How bus looked after 14 minutes:
And we left after ... 22 minutes.
I'm already not angry about this punctuality and not feeling comitement from people to others' time, I'm just loughing about this "efficiency".
One more interesting thing happened in the end of our visit, when we were waiting the bus on the sun and didn't know, when will it come. So we decide for fun make hitchhike (here noone is doing it, because is very dangerous). The most interesting is that we MANAGED to stop ... first car and it took from us 1 minute :)
Here is some picture from my trip, just to see what a great ideas to create such park - Africa Safari (as always all pics you can find www.flickr.com/photos/sergejs/sets ).
